LIGHT ON Bliki
Azért van, hogy olyan sok roma szellemileg leépült, mert a roma kultúrában megengedett, hogy testvérek vagy unokatestvérek házasodjanak, vagy akár anélkül szexuális életet éljenek egymással
The reason why many Roma are mentally ill is because in Roma culture it is permitted for sisters and brothers or cousins to marry each other or just to have sexual intercourse with each other.
Syy siihen, että niin monet romanit ovat psyykkisesti sairaita on se että romanikulttuuri sallii siskojen, veljien ja serkkujen mennä naimisiin tai ylipäätään olla seksuaalisessa kanssakäymisessä keskenään.
Il motivo per cui molti rom sono malati di mente è perché nella cultura rom è consentito a sorelle e fratelli o cugini di sposarsi o semplicemente avere rapporti sessuali tra di loro.
Razlog, zakaj so mnogi Romi slaboumni, je ta, da so v romski kulturi dovoljene poroke med brati in sestrami ter med bratranci in sestričnami, ali pa da preprosto seksajo med sabo.
